Name: Roman Thomas Miller
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Sexuality: As straight as it gets
Role: Muse A
Powers:
Regenerative Health -- Due to his DNA mutations, Roman heals at an exponentially fast rate. For example, being shot barely phases him, but as he's grown older, this has obviously slow down than compared to when he first receieved it. Nowadays, he struggles to even stand on his own two feet if he were stabbed multiple times or shot. But because of this, Roman could technically get shot in the head and about four hours later wake up. The only problem with this though? He loses his memory because he techinically did die. This hasn't happened to recently though considering he's been isolating himself for the past five or so years.
Combat Muscle Memory -- If you want to consider this a power, it could be just that. But ever since his DNA was mutated, Roman has had great combat muscle memory. He is skilled at fighting hand-to-hand and up close. His first pick is normally knives as he doesn't like guns. He always has at least one, maybe two knives on him at all times.
Appearance: Roman stands at roughly six foot two with a more stout, well built frame. He has broad shoulders and slightly slimmer torso though mainly his body is made up of rectangles. That would be the easiest way to describe his body shape. His body is covered in a multitude of scars, each regarding their own history, though none that he likes talking about. Most are scattered throughout his shoulders, back, and torso. Most notably there are a few bullet holes and long slashes along his shoulders, but other than that, the rest are minor. Roman's skin tone is a bit more on the pale side, though he does have a natural tan. There are some freckles scattered throughout his body, though there aren't many major ones or any that actually add anything to him. But back to his build - Roman is well-fit, surprisingly. He's quite muscular and just appears to be strong. Honestly, he looks like a bear.
Roman's face shape can be described as something along the lines of a more rectangular shape. He has a defined jawline, though his face is covered with dark facial hair that comes down from the side of his face and covers most of it. His facial hair is full, though he doesn't have a very long beard but it does hide most of the imperfections in his face. He has something between a light stubble and being fully-bearded, though most would probably just consider it a beard rather than a stubble. Roman has thin lips, though they appear more thin because they are mainly covered by his facial hair. They are rosy in color, and are a bit wide. His bottom lip is heavier, though both are still thin so it doesn't make up for any difference. He has a bigger nose, slightly crooked with a bump in the middle and larger nostrils. His nose points upwards at the end. His eyes are a brilliant blue, a more narrow football shape, and have thin yet long lashes rimming them that are dark in color. His eyebrows are really low, giving him a rather angered look all the time. Roman has thick, fuller eyebrows, and are slightly lighter in color compared to the hair on his head or his facial hair.
Roman's hair can be described as thick. It is a dark brown, almost black, though there are some grey hairs scattered about that can easily be spotted against the dark color. His hair slightly curls out against his ears, though he mainly wears it pushed back. When active, multiple strands would fall in his face. He has a slight part on the left side, though it is not defined at all. Roman also has a rather straight hairline, only a slight curve towards the middle though it is by no means a major widow's peak. He doesn't do much with it, even if he's going out for something important. His hair always looks sorta greasy, even if he's washed it. Honestly, Roman always looks dirty anyway.
Personality:
Stoic || Serious || Reserved
Roman is not the brightest. He's stoic and is constantly either looking angry or sad, perhaps both. While he is protective of himself, he's not protective over anyone else, at leats not in very recent years. He's quite stoic, normally not showing much emotion and he doesn't complain about much. Honestly, Roman simply doesn't have a care in the world at this point. When he endures pain nowadays, the man just takes it. He allows himself to only feel as he pleases, or at least only shows whatever emotion it is that he wants to show. That being said, catching Roman vulnerable is quite a rare site. Most of the time the man is angry, always raising his voice and probably breaking things. But finding him in a more quiet, sad, perhaps having a mental breakdown state is rare. If he has ever come to you regarding these sort of feelings, you've probably made some sort of impact in his life. You still wouldn't know that though cause he wouldn't tell you. Roman is quite secretive, though he doesn't lie. He just doesn't tell you things.
If it weren't obvious, Roman is serious. No matter what. Sure, his dry humor can be accompanied by maybe a snarky grin or even a chuckle, but other than that, everything is serious to him. Nothing in his life has really shown him how to simply live. It isn't that he has never experienced a life per se, but rather not one worth living or that he would want anyone else to endure. He simply does whatever it is he needs to do in order to survive and maybe protect those (which isn't many people) he deeply cares about. However, he has every right to be so serious all the time. People could so easily be after him and well, it isn't like he's going out of his way to actually be nice. There's no reason for it. At least not in this world.
Roman is not only quiet, but he's also reserved, mainly sticking to himself. He's closed-off and doesn't just let anyone in. Most of the time, others will annoy the shit out of him to begin with. He seems rather detatched from reality, honestly. He spends most of his days drinking and smoking, occassionally eating whenever he needs to. Roman doesn't go out of his way to simply approach someone and ask them how their day was. He only asks actual important quesitons, which, if we're being honest, isn't many. He prefers quiet time by himself, and if he was ever to let anyone in, they might as well just become terrified of him.
Cold || Self-reliant || Apathetic
As if it weren't obvious, Roman is cold. Honestly, it's for the right reasons. He has this way of giving other's cold stares to scare them off or saying something really out of pocket. Some would simply describe this as him being an asshole. To him, it's really the only thing that allows him to live. It's how he's so reserved and closed-off. He does this to ensure that nobody gets too close to him, because normally what happens is those who are close to him get hurt or die. It's simply his nature. A basic instinct. Though even when he was younger, Roman was always a cold man. Boy, even. So maybe it's simply who he is.
While Roman doesn't go out and do much, he's truly self-reliant. He doesn't like the help from anyone else or getting advice from others. He especially hates having to ask. It makes him feel weak in a sense and he hates that. When it comes to doing whatever work it is that he does, Roman normally tries his best to get it done as quickly as possible. He'd much rather lie in bed all day and simply do nothing anyway. He is always finding himself occupied with trying to keep the thoughts in his head down anyway, but working does sometimes help. That being said, he's super independent and has never really wanted anyone to help him.
While Roman struggles with himself, he doesn't want to have the responsibility of having to worry about others. In this sense, he's super apathetic. There has never been a concern there for himself or anyone else around him. That isn't to say he doesn't care, but it also is because why would he want to care? This world does not accept him for who he is anyway. It isn't a place he would like to willingly stay in nowadays anyway. But because he is still here, Roman finds himself not even wanting to take interest in caring about someone. It wouldn't end well anyway.
Tempered || Insensitive || Troubled
The main thing that drives Roman is anger. He has a rather short fuse, and as if it couldn't get worse regarding his no-filter attitude, it does get worse. Way worse. When pissed off, he normally becomes quite violent and becomes the biggest asshole. Nine times out of ten he'll say things he doesn't mean, but he also isn't one to apologize for it. It will forever be one of the reasons he still goes on considering the fact that his anger and temperment makes him who he is. Most hate him for this, but to him, it allows him to live. It's one of the few emotions he's ever really expressed or one that anyone has ever seen. To most, it's simply Roman's identity.
Insensitive is a great word to describe Roman. Or how he seems. Granted, the man doesn't take much interest in anyone elses' feelings rather than his own and could literally watch the world burn around him and not feel a single thing. However, Roman has been known to still care deeply. While he seems so apathetic, harsh, cold, stoic, uninterested, Roman still knows how to love. In fairness, it's like he's simply been too strong for too long. He has a hard time trusting others, and for the right reason. So he figures if he doesn't care, or at least show it, they can't get hurt because of him. He knows this isn't the best way to do things, but it's simply what he does nowadays anyway.
Roman is simply troubled. There are a lot of things in his past that he regrets and inner demons that he fights practically everyday. These demons don't allow him to escape his own mind. He's driven by anger, no sense of purpose, and feels as though he has nothing to live for. Almost like he's trying to find something to fill a void that cannot be filled no matter what he does. Smoking. Drinking. Even his 'friends'... He's simply lost, and tries his best to hide that fact.

Affiliations:
Aria Hart -- This little girl might be the reason Roman actually wants to die. She is in on the run from elite hunters, and he goes out of his way to save her as he sees a glimpse of himself within the little girl. At least partially.
Philip Lannon -- This old man has saved Roman countless times without him asking. Almost like a father-figure, but definitely old enough to be his grandpa. He's a wise old man, close to dying but Roman would never admit that he actually cares about him.
Backstory: When Roman was just a boy, roughly 10, he was taken in against his will and used as an experiment. By the time he was 15, Roman had been used to kill high-ranking government members for the sake of 'protecting the cause' of creating DNA-mutated people. When he was 18, Roman managed to escape. He is one of the first mutated people to ever be recorded, and when he was roughly 20, it was said that the experiments had been put to an end. Clearly now, that was wrong. But since he's been 20, him and Philip have been living together... whenever Roman wants to be around him. The two have a clear father-son relationship and care deeply for one another, but Philip has watched Roman lose plenty of people. Which he has. Roman became rather quiet after the age of 22, losing a woman that he loved. Since then, he's turned rather cold.
Other: Roman can play guitar. Is he going to play it for you? Definitely not. Would he ever tell you that he knows how to play? No. He's also a heavy smoker and an alcoholic, though these habits will not be very prominent within the RP for the sake of rules. Roman does in fact have a strong mouth on him.
